ΕΛΑΙΟΥΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
Mentioned as an inland Chaonian town by Ptolemy (3.14). It is the
only place in the Drin valley where olives are grown and the ancient name means
"olive town." There are remains of a circuit wall ca. 1400 m long on
a low ridge and of a temple where the Musllm monastery now stands.

ΧΑΟΝΙΑ (Αρχαία χώρα) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
A precipitous ridge, overlooking the gorge of the Suhe river, is fortified
with a circuit wall and powerful towers. The site controls the entry from the
Drin valley to the high plateau of Polican, the territory probably of the Omphales,
a Chaonian tribe. It is mentioned by Ptolemy (3.13.5).
